Extract text from string

Hi,

If possible I would like extract particular text from the strings:

\\swirt.misc@CAS-K-CLERK\K10447-Wit_OG lo hi TT-YYT (CTL1083.1)_172-7-10053 -303

\\swirt.misc@CAS-K-CLERK\K10445-Wit_OG lo hi ES WERT (CIL0858.1)_172-7-10046-600

\\swirt.misc@CAS-K-CLERK\K10437-Wit_OG lo hi TT-YYT (CTL1077.1)_172-7-10053-303

\\swirt.misc@CAS-K-CLERK\K10420-Wit_OG lo hi ES TRTR (CMA0851.1)_172-7-10047-600

\\swirt.misc@CAS-K-CLERK\K10377-Wit_OG_lo hi_ES_SI (CMS0499.1)_ 172-7-10041-600

\\swirt.misc@CAS-K-CLERK\K10451-Wit_OG lo hi TT-YYT (CTL1078

\\swirt.misc@CAS-K-CLERK\K10468-Wit_OG lo hi YYT DEV-020856 (CTLR1073

\\swirt.misc@CAS-K-CLERK\K10022 -Wit_OG lo hi YYT DEV-020414 (CTLR0999.1)

\\swirt.misc@CAS-K-CLERK\K10030-Wit_OG lo hi TT-YYT (CTL1008.1)

 

and I want to extract the IDs from above:

CTL1083.1

CIL0858.1

CTL1077.1

CMA0851.1

CMS0499.1

CTL1078

CTLR1073

CTLR0999.1

CTL1008.1

 

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Tomasz

Re: Extract text from string

I like the simplicity of word() or words() when it will work. I wrote about munger here and no longer understand how to use it. I think it is in JMP because it was available on the Mac in 1990...not because it was an example of a good way to manipulate strings.

Shh! @Craige_Hales, please don't tell @Byron_JMP. You will really hurt his feelings. (Thin skin I'm afraid)
